Chapter 131
Kiana immediately recognized the Canned Food of beef in Shen Gonglin's hand. Shen Gonglin, while Bronya was unconscious, not only slept in her bed and wore her pajamas, but even stole her food supplies. If she were Bronya, she would definitely stab him. He really didn't treat her like family at all! Kiana then noticed Shen Gonglin's clothes. Why did he look so good in Bronya's pajamas? It must be because Bronya and he were similar in build. Shen Gonglin looked even cuter than Bronya in them. This guy really suited women's clothing.
Whether it's the angel armor or the black and red gothic lolita outfit, Shen Gonglin looks beautiful in them. And then there's her usual cat-themed hoodie. Shen Gonglin seems more suited to Honkai -dressing than fighting the Honkai.
"It's okay, what's hers is mine, and what's mine is still mine. Bronya won't hold a grudge about this. Get out of my way, I'm going to start eating."
The emotionless loli thought she was going to die, so she handed over all her belongings to Shen Gonglin. Among them were even the activation password for Heavy-duty Rabbit and a bunch of random accounts. Compared to these things, eating a few Canned Food of her food was nothing. Shen Gonglin carried the Canned Food into the kitchen, haphazardly placed Canned Food on the gas stove, and prepared to turn on the fire. Kiana quickly rushed over. Mei and the Class President had warned her more than once not to let Shen Gonglin into the kitchen, and Kiana remembered that.
"Idiot, the Canned Food will explode if it's this hot. Let me do it."
Kiana carefully turned down the flame on the stove after opening the Canned Food. With this to eat, who would want to eat cold bread from the refrigerator? Mei is very skilled at cooking, and she usually makes just the right amount with very little leftovers, so the refrigerator is mostly filled with semi-finished products. Now that there's Canned Food beef, Kiana feels her appetite returning.
"Okay, you can heat it up for me, but you can't eat it."
Shen Gonglin stood beside Kiana, trying to warn her, but the girl only glanced at him slightly. What nonsense was this guy spouting? How could this be?
"Of course not, what's wrong with me eating a little of all this Shen Gonglin, you can't be so stingy. Since I helped, I should get a share too."
Chapter 511 Tracking Theresa
Late-night snacks are so delicious! She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and stuff it into her mouth. Even though she was so hot that tears were almost coming out, Shen Gonglin still had a happy smile on her face. It would be even better if this guy who was stealing her food wasn't around. Kiana, that idiot, can't she just let her eat alone?
Next time, I'll make her poisonous food.
With their heads huddled together, Shen Gonglin and Kiana quickly finished the beef in the Canned Food, each with a chopstick. Luckily, Bronya's food reserves were enough, otherwise, it really wouldn't have been enough for the two of them. Kiana, in particular, had incredible gluttony potential; she ate more than half of the Canned Food. Seeing Kiana lying on the sofa, rubbing her belly and looking completely satisfied, Shen Gonglin licked his lips and moved closer. He held an unopened Canned Food in his hand. Kiana was full, but he wasn't satisfied yet. This girl seemed completely unfazed by the heat; how could she eat so fast?
"Kiana, heat this up for me again, I want to eat more."
Kiana was given Canned Food, but the silly deer was too lazy to move after eating. She just wanted to lie on the sofa and be a useless person, let alone heat up the Canned Food for Shen Gonglin. Anyway, she had eaten enough, so who cared about Shen Gonglin? Why should a child eat so much at night? It's not good for their health. So Shen Gonglin should just go hungry.
"Don't eat anymore. Eating too much at night will put a strain on your stomach. Mei told me that, so Shen Gonglin, just eat a little bit. Come and lie down and rest for a bit. I'll make room for you."
Like a maggot, Kiana wriggled to the side, leaving some room for Shen Gonglin. Watching her patting the sofa with her little hands, Shen Gonglin was furious. Eating and sleeping would put a strain on her stomach, and it was clearly Kiana who ate too much, not her. Kiana ate most of it, and now she's telling her that eating too much is bad for her health.
This Kiana... she's so much like me! Usually, only I would do such despicable things, so why can Kiana be so despicable too? No, this isn't fair!
"Get up, get up now, get up and warm me up, Kiana, don't lie down!"
Shen Gonglin tried to pull Kiana up by the arm, but Kiana, having eaten and drunk her fill, was determined not to get up. The girl remained unmoved, refusing to leave the sofa no matter how hard Shen Gonglin tried. In a contest of strength, how could Shen Gonglin possibly be a match for Kiana? Annoyed by his pulling, Kiana grabbed Shen Gonglin's arm and pulled him onto the sofa as well. Taking advantage of her height and long legs, the girl firmly imprisoned Shen Gonglin in her arms. As the saying goes, when one is well-fed and warm, one thinks of lust... Although Kiana didn't understand the meaning of this saying, she just wanted to lie down comfortably right now, and if she had a Shen Gonglin body pillow in her arms, that would be even more perfect.
"Don't move, just lie down. You won't be hungry if you fall asleep. I'm so sleepy. How about I make you something tomorrow?"
Kiana buried her face in Shen Gonglin's shoulder and took a deep breath. Ugh, why does it all smell like Bronya? It must be because he's wearing Bronya's pajamas. Kiana was too lazy to move right now. She wasn't the Class President or Mei. If it were either of them, they would definitely pamper Shen Gonglin. If he said he was hungry, they might even cook him a three-course meal all night. But she was the dignified Miss Kiana, she would never pamper Shen Gonglin like that.
"No, I want to eat it now, right now."
Shen Gonglin struggled fiercely, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Kiana's embrace. He had always been the one to trick others, but he never expected to be tricked by Kiana. Shen Gonglin was very unhappy, extremely unhappy!
"No, no, I don't want to get up, I'm too lazy to move... Hmm? Is that Theresa over there?"
Playing with Shen Gonglin after a meal is a good way to digest. Kiana used both hands and feet to firmly bind Shen Gonglin, and seeing her helpless expression made Kiana feel a sense of satisfaction. Indeed, bullying Shen Gonglin is the most fun thing in the world. Having gained the upper hand in her struggle with Shen Gonglin, Kiana let out a villainous smile. But just then, Kiana inadvertently saw a figure walking on the road outside the window. The girl's eyesight was excellent, and she clearly saw the figure. Wasn't that Theresa? Why was she outside so late? It felt like there was some gossip to be had.
"Hey, really... So what if it's Theresa? Kiana, hurry up and heat up my Canned Food. If you can't, let go of me. I'll do it myself. I don't need to beg you."
While Theresa's sleepwalking at night was indeed quite interesting, all Shen Gonglin wanted to do right now was fill her own stomach. Kiana was clearly unreliable, so Shen Gonglin decided to fend for herself. She didn't necessarily need Kiana's help; she was capable of doing it herself.
"No, if you come by yourself, our dorm kitchen will definitely be destroyed, and Mei will definitely scold me... Shen Gonglin, Theresa, it must be something wrong for you to go out so late. Let's follow her and see, it'll be a lot of fun."
Upon hearing Shen Gonglin's words, Kiana quickly shook her head in opposition. She dared not leave Shen Gonglin alone in the kitchen; if something happened, she wouldn't be able to handle it. Besides, it was clearly more fun to follow Theresa now. Theresa must be doing something very important since it was so late. Taking Shen Gonglin along to follow her sounded like a lot of fun.
"I don't want to. Maybe she just ate too much and went out for a stroll. If you want to follow her, you can follow her by yourself. I need to eat... Kiana, don't pull my collar. I'm telling you, I'm not going... At least let me change my clothes first. What kind of person are you dressed like this!"
Shen Gonglin struggled to climb off the sofa, ready to fend for himself, but Kiana, having done something naughty, wasn't about to let him get away with it. The girl grabbed Shen Gonglin's collar and pulled him out the window. There was no time to dawdle; if there was any time left to change Shen Gonglin's clothes, Theresa would definitely be far away. Although Auntie's legs were short, she was still quite fast. Why change clothes? These clothes would do.
"No need to change, this outfit is already cute enough, it's the kind of standard that Ah Wei is dead in. Hurry up, let's catch up."
Kiana, holding Shen Gonglin's hand, quietly followed Theresa ahead, while Shen Gonglin, somewhat puzzled, followed behind her in her HOMU slippers. What standard is "Awei is dead"?
Chapter 512 Arrogance
A little earlier in time, at St. Freya Medical Department, Theresa looked at Bronya in the intensive care unit with her arms crossed. The headmistress's cute little face was very serious. She had come over after finishing her mission. Bronya was also her student, and Theresa was very anxious to see her unconscious.
"Headmistress, according to Major Shen Gonglin's intelligence, Bronya is currently trapped in her brain's self-protection mechanism because the burnt biochip impacted her brain. Although Major Jingu is protecting her, the brain is a very complex thing, and it's normal for her to fall into a coma after being impacted. All we can do now is wait."
A researcher next to Theresa, looking at the data in his hand, gave Theresa a report: Bronya's current condition is beyond the help of their St. Freya's medical technology. Now all they can do is wait for her to recover on her own. The only thing that can be guaranteed is that Bronya's life is absolutely safe. The only question now is when she will wake up.
"Is that so... How can I leave all the problems to the students to solve? If I did that, I would be a terrible headmistress. Take good care of Bronya, and leave the rest to me."
With her azure eyes darting around, Theresa made her own plans after listening to the report on Bronya's situation. Shen Gonglin was indeed very useful, and at times he was truly reliable, but it would be a huge underestimation of this headmaster of St. Freya's Academy if Theresa were to entrust all her problems to him. Bronya was also her student, and she had a responsibility to find a way to solve her current problems. She couldn't leave everything to Shen Gonglin.
"Yes, Headmaster... There's another piece of news: Headquarters has taken away Major Jingu's blood sample. Are you aware of this?"
Thinking of this, the doctor reported to Theresa on the previous movements of headquarters. During the previous physical examination, Shen Gonglin had her blood drawn, but before St. Freya could conduct any tests, the blood sample was transferred to headquarters. She felt that she had to tell Theresa about this.
"So they're still up to no good. I understand. Let them do their research. They want to use his blood to create something, don't they? I really don't understand. His blood turns into ordinary blood as soon as it leaves his body. Even he has to use his teeth as a medium... Hmm, I understand. Take good care of Bronya. Leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Theresa left the medical department. Shen Gonglin was indeed very useful and reliable, but she couldn't entrust everything to him just because he was useful. The fact that the blood was transferred from headquarters didn't matter. What Theresa was concerned about now was something else. It was still unknown when Bronya would wake up. For the sake of the headmaster's dignity, Theresa felt that she had to do something, otherwise Shen Gonglin would steal all the limelight.
Not only is he S-rank, but his military rank is also rising rapidly. If he doesn't establish his authority soon, Theresa feels that she will eventually be suppressed by Shen Gonglin. So, Theresa is determined to get Bronya's help. The research on human brain access to biochips, huh? It's time to show those little guys what the headmistress of St. Freya is all about.
Having made up her mind, Theresa walked briskly towards a hidden passage leading to the underground central church of St. Freya. Hidden there was the Schicksal's most advanced biotechnology; if she could find relevant information, it would definitely be helpful to Bronya's current situation.
Theresa mind was entirely focused on the central church, was completely unaware that two small, Shen Gonglin figures were following behind her. Kiana, holding Jingu Rin's hand, carefully followed behind Theresa. St. Freya Academy was exceptionally quiet at night. Kiana, holding Shen Gonglin's hand, quietly followed Theresa's footsteps. These nighttime activities were really interesting. What would Theresa be doing so late at night? She had to keep a close eye on her.
"Kiana, why don't we go back? I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten enough. Can you heat Canned Food some beef for me when we get back? What are we doing following Theresa? Wouldn't it be awkward if we saw her going to see a man? We'd better go back."
Shen Gonglin didn't share Kiana's enthusiasm. Right now, all he wanted to do was go back, eat a hot Canned Food beef, and then get a good night's sleep on Bronya's bed. He had to enjoy this while Bronya was still asleep, because once she woke up, he definitely wouldn't have the chance. Only a pervert like Kiana would do something like stalking a loli; Shen Gonglin was simply ashamed to be associated with such a person.
If you're going to stalk someone, you should stalk a tall, big-breasted older sister like Himeko. What's the point of stalking a little girl? Shen Gonglin has absolutely no interest in it.
"Nonsense. Even if Theresa were looking for a man, she should be looking for you. How many men do you think there are in the whole of St. Freya? Don't complain. Hurry up and catch up. I feel like the two of us are going to discover something good that no one else knows about."
Kiana glared reproachfully at Shen Gonglin, but instead of letting go of his hand, she gripped it even tighter to prevent him from escaping. She absolutely had to take Shen Gonglin with her; if she let him go back alone now, he would definitely get lost. And what nonsense was this guy spouting? How could Theresa possibly go looking for a man? Even if such a thing happened, the first person Kiana thought of was Shen Gonglin. Although Theresa looked like a loli and seemed to be outside Shen Gonglin's hunting range, Kiana knew that Shen Gonglin's hunting range was a joke. He claimed to like tall, long-legged girls like herself, but actually, he wasn't picky about lolis either.
Otherwise, what's the deal with that girl named Rosaliya and Bronya?
Kiana doesn't believe a man's words at all now. Although Shen Gonglin isn't a man but a boy, he's just as trusting in that respect.
"What do you mean you should look for me even if you're looking for a man? Kiana, that's slander. I'm not interested in lolis. I like mature women, mature women, at least the kind with a better figure than you. As for lolis, I don't want to do planks with them."
Shen Gonglin emphasized that her hobbies were a matter of principle. Although she seemed to be getting closer to lolis now, Shen Gonglin's heart still belonged to the mature woman type, which was undeniable. Kiana, on the other hand, glanced at Shen Gonglin and specifically pointed out that she had a better figure than her... What, would it be unfair to him if it were her?
That's incredibly arrogant.
Chapter 513 Siberia
Not wanting to waste any more words with Shen Gonglin, and knowing they'd lose Theresa if they kept talking, Kiana grabbed Shen Gonglin's hand and quickly followed. The girl's slippers made a clattering sound as she walked, but thankfully Theresa seemed lost in thought and didn't notice the noise behind her. "So St. Freya has places like this!" Kiana and Shen Gonglin followed Theresa to an underground space. Following Theresa tonight was definitely the right decision; this place looked very mysterious.
[Iris detection, St. Freya Headmaster, Theresa Apocalypse]
Stepping through the gate at the end, Theresa passed through layers of checks and entered the space behind it. This place held the highest level of biotechnology of the Schicksal, a place only she, as the headmistress, had the authority to enter. From here, she could connect to the entire Schicksal database. With her grandfather's many years of research, Theresa was certain that he must have some knowledge of the technology of implanting biochips in the human brain. As long as she could obtain information here, she could definitely help Bronya. Serving every student wholeheartedly was her duty as the headmistress.
"Hey Kiana, this doesn't look like a man's place. If you choose to cheat on someone in a place like this... it's quite romantic."
Kiana and Shen Gonglin also entered the space behind the door. Looking at the three large symbols on the door, Shen Gonglin had a pretty good impression of them. This symbol should be the crest of the Schariac family. Shen Gonglin had seen this symbol on Anna's clothes. And this one should be the crest of the Kaslana family. The third one is undoubtedly the crest of the Apocalypse family, which symbolizes the bishop. This place seems quite important. Schicksal has developed to this day thanks to these three families. And the place they have come to is obviously not a place for a secret rendezvous with a man.
"How could I possibly be here to see a man? I was just joking. Who knows what Theresa is doing here? Never mind, let's just go up and ask her. I feel a bit uncomfortable here, like something's about to happen. Let's just go ask Theresa directly."
Looking at the sign on the gate, Kiana felt uneasy for some reason. At the same time, her sixth sense warned her that something bad was about to happen. Grabbing Shen Gonglin's hand made Kiana feel a little more at ease. She didn't want to stay here any longer. She should hurry up and find Theresa to find out why she came here and then go back.
Following Theresa's small figure ahead, Kiana grabbed Shen Gonglin and ran quickly over. But Theresa also made a move. The headmistress, who was completely focused on the database, did not notice that there were two little tails following her. Theresa turned on the central computer, and the pale red screen unfolded. Standing in the center of the computer, Theresa issued her command.
"Search for information related to the integration of human brain with biochips."
[In the core database of Schicksal, 713 records were found, of which 712 were classified as top secret because they were related to Sirin Project and therefore could not be accessed.]
The mechanical female voice provided the answer, while Theresa frowned. She had expected this result beforehand. Had that guy hidden it again? 712 out of 713 records were encrypted, and the remaining one seemed to be reserved specifically for her to see. However... even so, she still had to see it. This feeling was really unpleasant, as if everything was under her grandfather's control.
Theresa composed herself, then looked up at the light screen with her arms crossed. She wanted to see what this last record contained. Whatever it was, as long as it could work on Bronya, it would be useful.
"So, what about the last one?"
[Related records exist from February 7, 2000, at the Babylon Laboratory in Siberia.]
Upon hearing the date, Theresa was taken aback. Was it a coincidence? Why on such a special day? This made her even more suspicious that her grandfather had orchestrated everything. But even if it was a trap, she had to jump in. Although she sometimes appeared very mature, Theresa was actually like a curious kitten. This was clearly something fishy, and she couldn't let her grandfather's guidance go unpunished if she didn't investigate. She wanted to see what was hidden inside.
"Database, please retrieve the relevant records for me."
"Yes, Lady Theresa."
Theresa gave the order, and the central computer obeyed her command. The surrounding darkness began to disintegrate. Kiana, who had run over with Shen Gonglin, noticed this as well. What was going on? What was Theresa doing? What was happening?
[Virtual space construction completed. Date: February 7, 2000. Location: Siberia, Babylon Laboratory]
Suddenly, a sound reached their ears, followed by a wave of dizziness that swept over Shen Gonglin and Kiana. Shen Gonglin instinctively grabbed Kiana's waist. What was happening? Was it an earthquake? Kiana reacted the same way, also reaching out to Shen Gonglin. Both closed their eyes, but then a biting gust of wind suddenly blew around them. Shen Gonglin shuddered and slowly opened her eyes, her deep purple eyes now filled with astonishment. What was going on? Weren't they just underground at the St. Freya Academy? How did they suddenly find themselves...? Where was this?
Was there originally a snowfield beneath St. Freya?
Where is this place?
Kiana opened her eyes as well. She released her grip on Shen Gonglin and looked at everything before her in amazement. The vast expanse of white reminded her of the past. The sight of the surrounding snowfield evoked a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. But how did she end up here with Shen Gonglin in the blink of an eye? What was going on...? Right, Shen Gonglin Shen Gonglin, is he alright?
"It's so cold, I'm freezing! Kiana, where am I?"
He reached out and hugged her again. Wearing his HOMU pajamas, Shen Gonglin felt his teeth chattering from the cold. He hugged Kiana tightly around the waist and buried his face in her body. In this cold environment, only this girl in front of him could bring him some warmth. How did she end up here in the blink of an eye? Shen Gonglin was a little overwhelmed.
Chapter 514 A Person Freezes to Death
Just like his appearance suggests, Shen Gonglin is the pampered young master type. He's both afraid of the cold and the heat, and he's quite delicate. But you can't really blame him. How could he possibly stand being in this place wearing such thin pajamas? Shen Gonglin's constitution is different from the Valkyrie. In terms of constitution alone, he's even worse than his peers, let alone comparable to these Valkyrie. Kiana feels okay, but Shen Gonglin is already feeling like he's about to freeze to death. What kind of place is this? Why is there no heating? If all else fails, even a thermos would be nice for Shen Gonglin.
A gust of cold wind blew by, Shen Gonglin felt his teeth chattering from the cold. He tightened his grip on Kiana's arm. Why couldn't this girl get a fever? She was completely useless. And why was she wearing such a tight-fitting outfit? He couldn't even put his hand inside. That would probably keep her warm.
"Hey! What are you doing? Isn't just hugging me enough? If you dare to touch me again... believe me, I'll touch you too! If you touch my clothes again, I'll strip you naked and throw you in the snow!"
While still observing her surroundings, Kiana suddenly Shen Gonglin that Rin had already found the zipper of her combat suit and was about to unzip it, almost exposing her underwear. Kiana blushed and quickly zipped it up. Shen Gonglin was too good at undressing people! Even if she was cold, she shouldn't take off her clothes. How did he know where the zipper was? Kiana had searched for a long time when she first got the combat suit. Suddenly he started touching her. What an idiot.
"But I'm so cold, Kiana. Can I borrow your clothes, or can you take off your clothes and hug me? I see people on TV warming themselves up like that. Hurry, hurry, I'm so cold."
With her arms crossed, Shen Gonglin stomped her feet and spun around on the spot. The snow-covered ground made her feel her body temperature drop slightly with every gust of Shen Gonglin. Although her body temperature was low, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid of the cold. As for changing clothes... Shen Gonglin gave up after a moment's thought. Neither the angel armor nor the red and black Shen Gonglin lolita outfit seemed to be the type that would keep her warm. They might even make her freeze to death faster.
"You wish! I don't want that, at least not now... Is it really that cold? Why don't I feel anything at all? Shen Gonglin, you really need to train harder. This level of cold is nothing to me."
With a slight pout, Kiana still reached out and hugged Shen Gonglin. He felt icy cold to the touch, as if he had really been frozen. She was quite familiar with Shen Gonglin's physical condition. She herself had grown up in such a snowy environment, so she was fine. But Shen Gonglin was different. Now there was no one else around, and she was the only one who could take care of him.
"Is this something that can be solved by training, Kiana? Where exactly is this place? How did we end up here in the blink of an eye?"
Holding Kiana's waist, Shen Gonglin began to tremble all over. He was afraid of the cold, the heat, and the pain, and this environment was really unfriendly to him. Drawing warmth from Kiana, Shen Gonglin felt a little better. What kind of place was this? Shen Gonglin was now starting to miss Bronya's warm little bed.
"I don't know either... Hey, stop rubbing yourself, okay? It's itchy. What's there to be afraid of with just a little bit of wind and snow? I'm doing the same thing, Shen Gonglin. Stop rubbing yourself like that... Ouch, you're still rubbing yourself!"
Kiana hugged Shen Gonglin tightly to stop him from moving around. Did this guy really not consider himself a girl? He was rubbing against her like that without any consideration. He felt cold, but Kiana felt hot. Didn't he see that she was blushing a little from the heat?
"But it's so cold if I don't move, Kiana. Push harder, or I'm afraid I really won't make it. Kiana, if I freeze to death, I'll leave everything to you. That half-eaten Canned Food of food, and all my inheritance, you have to take good care of it."
Even at this moment, Shen Gonglin still couldn't resist taking advantage of Kiana. What inheritance did he have? All he had was a Tianwen debt. After handing everything over to Kiana, she would have to take responsibility for the debts she incurred before her death. In any case, she had to pay back the money to Durandal and Rita.
"Inheritance? What nonsense are you talking about? Wake up! This temperature isn't enough to freeze anyone to death. I'm here, aren't I? You wait here, I'll find you a place to warm up right away."
Kiana was almost moved to tears. She never expected that Shen Gonglin, on his deathbed... well, not on his deathbed, would think of her at such a moment. She was genuinely worried that Shen Gonglin would be like those dying soldiers in movies, gasping for breath and telling her to go back and tell Mei that he loved her. Sure enough, Shen Gonglin valued her more. Otherwise, why would he have thought of leaving his inheritance to her? Just for his feelings, Kiana wouldn't let him die, even though he was just babbling on and on.
Kiana slung Shen Gonglin, understanding Shen Gonglin's current situation. Putting aside her physical limitations, wearing such a thin nightgown in this freezing weather was indeed unbearable. The Valkyrie's battle suit was meant to keep her warm, but Shen Gonglin's Bronya -style nightgown only served to make her look cute. Although they didn't know where they were yet, the most important thing now was to get Shen Gonglin to a warm place. The girl jumped to a high spot and looked around. A black tower in the distance came into Kiana's view. That was the only thing she could see around there, so she decided to go check it out.
After all, that's the only place that can shelter us from the wind and snow. Let's find a way to get closer to it and start a fire nearby, then Shen Gonglin shouldn't be cold. Seriously, there's no signal on the communicator. I came in with Theresa, but now I can't even find Theresa. There's nothing I can do but take it one step at a time.
"Shen Gonglin, we're going there now. I'm carrying you on my back, so you'd better hold on tight."
Kiana jumped off the snowfield with Shen Gonglin on her back. She didn't seem to mind the snowy environment at all. If it weren't for how useless it was to carry this guy, Kiana would have even wanted to have a snowball fight with him.
Chapter One: Two People in the Snowfield
On the boundless snowfield, in this endless white world, two small figures were moving towards the only difference in this white world. The black tower in front of them was still far away. Even though Kiana was a very fast runner, she didn't feel like she was getting any closer after walking for so long. It was so far... Kiana didn't feel tired. Carrying Shen Gonglin, she felt like she could run all day. The key was that so much time had passed. Could something have happened to Shen Gonglin?
The girl turned around with some worry. Shen Gonglin's once fair face was now completely bloodless, as if he were about to freeze to death. Moreover, he hadn't spoken since earlier. This kind of low temperature was nothing to Valkyrie, but it was quite a test for Shen Gonglin. No, this couldn't go on. Now that she was the only one by Shen Gonglin's side, she had to take responsibility and take good care of him.
"Shen Gonglin, walk around a bit. I can't carry you anymore, I'm so tired."
Kiana gently patted Shen Gonglin 'Shen Gonglin cheeks after placing him on the ground, waking the drowsy boy. Shen Gonglin opened his blurry eyes and yawned widely. It was so comfortable lying on Kiana's back that he almost fell asleep. He didn't feel cold in his sleep, but after Kiana woke him up, Shen Gonglin immediately felt the cold again. It was so cold.
"Kiana, I'm so cold, can you carry me again? I can't walk anymore."
After regaining his senses, Shen Gonglin started his habitual whining again. He huddled his hands together, shivering. He was freezing cold and couldn't possibly walk on his own. If it were the Class President, she would definitely take care of him even if she didn't mean it, since Class President doted on him quite a bit. But unfortunately, it wasn't Fu Hua standing in front of Shen Gonglin, but Kiana. She wouldn't pamper Shen Gonglin, at least not now. She was very experienced in this kind of freezing weather, and if she carried Shen Gonglin back and prevented him from moving, she would be harming him.
"No, you must have gotten heavier recently. I can't carry you. Here, give me your hand and walk by yourself."
The girl shook her head and refused Shen Gonglin's request. Her two white braids swayed with her movements. She reached out and took Shen Gonglin's hand, pulling him along as they continued towards the tower ahead. Moving around for a while would help Shen Gonglin's blood circulate and keep him warm. Carrying him would only make him colder. He had almost fallen asleep earlier, and falling asleep in such low temperatures was dangerous. So, she had to keep Shen Gonglin alert.
"Huh, have I gained weight? Mei and the Class President must be so happy. One of them wants to fatten me up and the other wants to improve my physique. I hope they really succeed. Kiana, have I really gained weight?"
Kiana refused to carry her, so Shen Gonglin had to walk on her own. Walking in the snow in slippers was really uncomfortable. Rin was easily distracted by Kiana's words. In this snowfield, there were only the two of them. If she wanted to pass the time, she could only talk to Kiana. Shen Gonglin turned to look at Kiana and felt that this girl seemed to be quite used to this environment. Even her usual carefree and eccentric personality was gone. Could it be that Kiana was really a husky in human form?
